Poolside Playdate

A few weeks ago our MOPS mamas and their kiddos got together for a pool playdate filled with sunshine, giggles, popsicles, and lots of splashing fun. We love that our MOPS relationships extend through the summer! And we'd love for you to join us next time!!!

May Meeting Recap: End of the Year Celebration & Photobooth Fun

The 2015 - 2016 MOPS year has come to an end! We have loved "Flourishing Fiercely" with y'all and wanted to celebrate a great year of great mamas!!! Read on for a recap as well as some absolutely awesome pics from our "MOPS Photobooth" at the meeting! Such fun!

Devotion

Katie, maker of these beautiful cookies, shared a devotion with us about having an eternal perspective. Her words were timely and wise and you can check back soon for a post with the full devotion. Thanks for sharing your heart and cookies with us Katie!!!

Video

Sarah put together a great video montage of pictures from throughout our 2015 - 2016 year. We'll post the video soon on the blog so keep an eye out for that!

Craft

We put together beautiful flower canvases this month - perfect for our Fierce Flourishing theme!

Instructions:

Choose canvas and petals. You will also need 1 circle for the center of your flower.
Layout your flower petals on your canvas in the design/order that you like. For the edges, you can wrap around the canvas, or trim flush with scissors.
Removing 2-3 petals at a time, use your sponge brush to apply a VERY THIN layer of glue to the canvas. Replace your petals and press to seal.
Continue this process until all of your petals have been glued in place.
Use a Sharpie marker to add writing to your canvas if you wish.
Using a VERY THIN layer of glue, cover the entire front of your canvas to seal the petals, starting with the first area that should be dry by now.
Note: If you see any petals not sticking or bubbling up, smooth these and add more glue if necessary as you go

And here are a few examples of finished canvases that our talented moms created...

Photobooth Fun

Y'all. Our moms are THE BEST. Look and see for yourself...

Thanks to all our fabulous MOPS mamas for a great year! We love you fiercely flourishing women!!!

Hope to see y'all over the summer and can't wait to see you in the fall for another year of MOPS!!! xo!

April MNO & MOTT

Lots of fun this month at our Moms' Nite Out (MNO) and MOPS On The Town (MOTT)!

MNO - Cooking class at Sonia's house

A HUGE thank you to Sonia for hosting the most delicious MNO in recent memory! Sonia put on a 3-in-1 cooking class, demonstrating for us how to prepare 3 delectable dishes and how to use the same ingredients in multiple dishes, saving time and money! She included lots of food prep/cooking techniques, instructions for do it yourself mixes, bargain shopping tips AND we got to EAT ALL THE FOOD. Look for the recipes on the blog in our upcoming Tasty Tuesday installments! And thanks again Sonia!!!
